Abstract EN
Objective.
To assess the additional effect of self-management on physiotherapy via the use of APPS on management of chronic low back pain.
Method.
A single-blinded randomized control trial was conducted.
8 participants (male: 4; female: 4) were recruited from the Rehabilitation Clinic of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Participants in the treatment group received self-management plus physiotherapy and the control group received physiotherapy only.
Assessment was carried out pretreatment, midterm (week 2), and posttreatment (week 4), including Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and SF36.
Results.
Compared with the physiotherapy group, the self-management plus physiotherapy group had significance in PSEQ (p=0.035), RMDQ (p=0.035), SF36-Bodily Pain (p=0.008), and SF36-Mental Health (p=0.013).
VAS showed a positive trend although there was no significant difference.
Conclusion.
This pilot study indicated that smartphone APPS-based self-management program appears to bring additional benefits to physiotherapy for patients with CLBP.
Self-management is a potential approach for people with CLBP.
